dumb_a animal_n in_o token_n that_o they_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o be_v entitle_v to_o all_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o whereas_o the_o lamb_n be_v a_o type_n of_o i_o to_o the_o intent_n now_o that_o you_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o my_o follower_n may_v be_v assure_v that_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o certain_a interest_n in_o my_o sacrifice_n and_o shall_v receive_v

after_o this_o manner_n and_o to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o feast_n upon_o i_o and_o upon_o my_o sacrifice_v body_n though_o you_o do_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o very_a identical_a oblation_n as_o have_v be_v usual_a hitherto_o and_o i_o will_v have_v you_o be_v satisfy_v that_o as_o often_o as_o you_o shall_v eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o shall_v be_v suppose_v

mystery_n we_o be_v presume_v and_o repute_v to_o do_v so_o we_o do_v in_o effect_n partake_v of_o both_o by_o partake_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o do_v represent_v and_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v

their_o very_a oblation_n this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o great_a blessing_n we_o receive_v 2._o hence_o we_o conclude_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o every_o communicant_a who_o be_v right_o prepare_v and_o dispose_v have_v hereby_o solid_a and_o substantial_a ground_n for_o his_o hope_n touch_v the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o since_o by_o this_o visible_a pledge_n of_o god_n love_n we_o gain_v a_o interest_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n death_n since_o we_o be_v reckon_v to_o participate_v of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n since_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o cross_n as_o the_o jew_n be_v of_o the_o altar_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o we_o have_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o our_o lord_n passion_n and_o so_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v assure_v of_o the_o

will_v more_o evident_o yet_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v 1._o the_o correspondency_n of_o this_o feast_n to_o the_o ancient_a sacrifical_a banquet_n in_o general_a 2._o the_o analogy_n of_o it_o to_o those_o feast_n which_o be_v use_v after_o sin-offering_n in_o particular_a and_o three_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n at_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o rite_n 1._o first_o than_o it_o be_v already_o prove_v that_o god_n order_v his_o people_n to_o feast_n upon_o part_n of_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o token_n to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v in_o favour_n and_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o they_o have_v a_o right_n unto_o all_o his_o promise_n that_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v accept_v kind_o and_o be_v impute_v unto_o such_o as_o have_v offer_v they_o by_o the_o visible_a solemnity_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o god_n presence_n they_o be_v assure_v that_o now_o they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o reconciliation_n and_o peace_n with_o he_o and_o have_v a_o title_n to_o all_o those_o mercy_n which_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v intend_v for_o see_v therefore_o that_o this_o feast_n be_v answerable_a unto_o those_o it_o argue_v plain_o that_o as_o the_o eat_v of_o sacrifical_a feast_n be_v a_o evidence_n unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o be_v benefit_v by_o the_o oblation_n and_o be_v in_o god_n favour_n so_o the_o partake_n of_o this_o sacrifical_a feast_n be_v a_o evidence_n unto_o we_o christian_n that_o we_o be_v benefit_v by_o christ_n oblation_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n also_o and_o consequent_o that_o we_o have_v a_o right_n to_o his_o promise_n that_o he_o will_v forgive_v and_o pardon_v we_o that_o be_v a_o main_a part_n of_o god_n covenant_n one_o of_o his_o principal_a

after_o 2._o but_o for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o matter_n we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o feast_n upon_o a_o sacrifice_n at_o large_a but_o a_o feast_n upon_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n in_o particular_a you_o must_v remember_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a oblation_n appoint_v by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v call_v sin_n offering_n and_o trespass-offering_n because_o they_o be_v intend_v to_o make_v a_o atonement_n for_o all_o iniquity_n whatsoever_o both_o of_o the_o heart_n and_o of_o the_o hand_n whether_o they_o be_v offence_n against_o the_o first_o
